[Groop] Top Posters of 2005 (late again)

[Dana Gabbard]

Tone:

Unless you want to endlessly chase all things Groo just be happy with the 
comics and appreciate that Gary handles the heavy job of Groo archiviss 
(holding 99.9999999% of all things Groo)

> > Gary (and others debating about Groo news),
> > Since I have joined the Groop I heard about a "Towel," found out

> > learned about both the potential Groo vs. Conan comic (keep me/us

> > eventual Groo movie (!!!), heard some people's ideas for the creation of
> > a Groo video game (now that would be just TOO INCREDIBLE... maybe a
> > joint release for marketing purposes when the movie comes out??), found

> > Something I did learn recently, apart from the Groop, is the
> > second major appearance of Groo is not in StarSlayer #5, but actually in
> > StarSlayer #4 as a 2 page poster and the back cover. I already have the
> > first major appearance (That being in Destroyer Duck, of course.) and
> > have StarSlayer #5, so now thanks to eBay I have StarSlayer #4 as well.
> > Actually, now I have two copies of StarSlayer #4. After learning

> > Maybe by admitting to not previously knowing about StarSlayer #4
> > I have demonstrated my ignorance of Groo-knowledge compared to most

> > Speaking of gaining pleasure of the Groo series, does anyone

> > - Original 1980's T-shirt
> > I had/have the original, but I wore it so much when I was younger the
> > only thing that is left are the faded front and back images in torn

> > - Original 1980's Poster
> > I of course had it as well, but unfortunately during a move another

> > - Lead miniature sets 4 and 5
> > I have 1, 2, and 3.
> > - Any of the 9 special insert cards
> > I have the full card collection, but have been trying to track down and
> > acquire the extra chaser cards for some time now.

> > Well... maybe I am asking for too much. I will use the excuse of

> > I still remember the day I bought my first Groo comic... <sigh>.
